Kentucky Horsewear Stable Rugs | Shop Online | Emmers Equestrian
Shop Kentucky Horsewear stable rugs at Emmers Equestrian, available in-store and online with worldwide shipping. When your horse comes in from the field or finishes a hard schooling session, the right stable rug makes all the difference to their comfort, warmth, and recovery. Kentucky Horsewear has become one of the most trusted names in stable rug design in Europe, producing rugs that combine genuine technical performance with the beautiful, co-ordinated aesthetic the brand is celebrated for.
Kentucky stable rugs are available across a range of fill weights, from lightweight stable sheets and low-fill rugs ideal for milder evenings and horses that run warm, to medium and heavyweight options for keeping horses comfortable through cold winter nights in unheated stables. Each rug is cut and shaped to sit correctly on the horse's back, stay in place overnight, and allow freedom of movement without slipping or rubbing, the details that matter most when a rug is worn for hours at a time. The breathable inner lining draws moisture away from the coat, keeping the horse dry and comfortable whether they are cooling down after exercise or simply resting in the stable.
One of the most compelling reasons to choose Kentucky Horsewear stable rugs is the brand's distinctive colour palette. Updated each season with a carefully considered range of shades, from classic neutrals to bold contemporary colourways, Kentucky stable rugs are designed to co-ordinate beautifully with the wider Kentucky Horsewear range, including their saddle pads, bandages, fly masks, and turnout rugs. Building a fully matched Kentucky wardrobe for your horse has never been easier, and Emmers Equestrian stocks a broad selection of the range to help you do exactly that.

How do I measure my horse for a Kentucky stable rug?
Kentucky stable rugs are sized by rug length, measured from the centre of the horse's chest to the furthest point of the hindquarters in a straight line, typically in centimetres. Common sizes range from approximately 105cm for small ponies to 165cm for large horses. If your horse falls between sizes, sizing up is generally recommended for better coverage and comfort. Our team at Emmers Equestrian can advise on sizing in-store, or check our online size guide before ordering.
How do I wash a Kentucky Horsewear stable rug?
Kentucky stable rugs should be washed in a large-capacity front-loading washing machine or at a specialist rug wash service, using a rug-specific detergent on a gentle cool cycle. Avoid standard household washing machines where possible, as the size and weight of a wet rug can damage the drum. Do not tumble dry, hang or lay flat to air dry away from direct heat. For rugs with a waterproof outer layer, re-proof with a DWR spray after washing to restore the water-resistant finish. Always check the care label on your specific rug.
What is the difference between a stable rug and a turnout rug?
A stable rug is designed for use inside the stable, it provides warmth and comfort but is not built to withstand rain, wind, or turnout conditions. Stable rugs typically have a smooth or fleece inner lining and are not waterproofed. A turnout rug is designed for outdoor use in the field, featuring a waterproof and windproof outer shell built to withstand the elements. Using a stable rug outdoors in wet weather will cause it to become waterlogged and will rapidly degrade the rug. Kentucky Horsewear produces both stable and turnout rugs, Emmers Equestrian stocks both ranges.
Do Kentucky stable rugs match their other products?
Yes, this is one of Kentucky Horsewear's most popular features. Their stable rugs are designed in co-ordinating colourways that match across their full product range, including saddle pads, bandages, fly masks, turnout rugs, and accessories. Building a fully co-ordinated Kentucky wardrobe for your horse, matching stable rug, saddle pad, and bandages, is one of the most satisfying things you can do with the brand. Emmers Equestrian stocks a broad Kentucky Horsewear range in-store and online to help you put it all together.
